Exegesis
Place names biyrushalayim {בִּירוּשָׁלִַם | bi-rû-šā-layim} and Lachishah {לָכִישָׁה | lā-ḵî-šāh} anchor the action geographically, and the repeated Lachishah highlights both refuge and final confrontation. The Qal perfect sar and Hiphil vayemituhu nuance a decisive departure and the causative act of his pursuers.
